One of my favorites
This is one of my favorite rentals, the pink color is perfect for summer and I always get compliments when I wear it. Only drawbacks are that the dress is a little low cut and isn't lined, so I have to be careful about which work events it is appropriate for.

Cute but probably won't work on everyone
I love the color and pattern of this dress, perfect for an August wedding. However, the straps (which don't adjust) are very long. I'm 5'9 and the straps on the 4 kept falling down so I actually changed into the 2 between the ceremony and reception.

Be aware of back
I rented this for work but the opening in the back was too big to wear to my office. I ended up wearing it on my honeymoon. It is long though, I'm 5'9 and it had to be worn with heels to avoid looking old fashioned.

Tight!
I wore this for a fundraising event that was "fashion forward cocktail" and I think this dress met that description. However, it runs incredibly small. I could barely fit it over my hips and couldn't move comfortably. I also didn't love the top. The short sleeves make it look stuffy and too conservative. I almost didn't wear it but I didn't have a good backup plan.

Cute and different
This is a unique dress and I got a lot of compliments but be warned it does run big. I had to wear a black cami under because the top gapped open.

Good for a last minute event
I found out I was attending a black tie event with two days to find a dress. There weren’t many options in my size on such short notice, so I wasn’t picky. This dress was fine, but just wasn’t quite right for my body and did remind me a bit of a bridesmaid dress. The longer length was good for me at 5’9 and wearing 3 inch heels.

Sexy, but still classy and beautiful.
This dress was even better than it looks in the picture. The gold lace pattern on the dress looks fantastic in any light and I got so many compliments when I wore it out for my birthday! It made me feel beautiful.

I did get a lot of compliments on this! People loved the sequined neckline.
I rented this for my sorority semi formal. It does run really big. I have pretty small arms, and I'm relatively thin but even the small didn't hug my body or my arms like in the picture. I think it would work better for curvier girls. It also is a little long, even for me at 5'9, so if you want something sexier I wouldn't recommend this dress. I wouldn't exactly call it a show-stopper, but good for a date or dinner with the girls.
